Well, here are the five cars I have painted so far. Decided to get the Kato observation. Have cleared one of the cars, been too humid around here to do the rest. Painted the stripes, but I think the bottom stripes came out too thick. The upper stripe on the baggage was freehanded which is why it is uneven in places. Figure I will repaint if and when more accurate markings for these come out. Besides, the paint I mixed for the red has set up. I have the worst time trying to save paint once I mix it. Let me know what you think. Sully

Well, got the passenger cars today. Very pleased with them. Think that they may not be the scale size of the Norfolk & Western cars, but they will work for me. Couple of things I may alter, like take the skirts off the sides, and would like to make the windows on the observation car smaller. Will post pics when I am done with them. Oh yeah, got a BL-2 last week that is getting ready to go to the paint shop. Had the markings for it left on the sheet for the F unit (Chesapeake & Ohio), so I thought I would do up one of these.

Well, I finally bought a set of Con-Cor heavyweights. These seem to be about the closest I could find to the Pocahontas / Powhattan Arrow cars. Will have to measure them when they arrive, but don't really care about the length anymore. Spending 6 months looking for these things has made my head spin. Have 2 sets of the Micro Scale N&W decal sets, so I will be repainting and marking them. Just don't have the the Pocahontas / Powhattan Arrow markings. Will post some pics of them when done, especially behind my Spectrum J-Class. And if Bachmann ever does a set of cars for this loco, will consider those as well. Sully

This is my first 2 tone repaint. Accuflex paint with Microscale decals. Old Trix Santa Fe warbonnet. Removed molded in grab handles on front, redid 2 with wire, added 2. Not perfect, but I kinda like it. Thanks for looking. Sully

Hello all from the new guy here. Just got my 611 dad ordered me for Christmas, and it is beautiful. Ran it a little on my test loop, but curves are just too small. Gonna add a loop with bigger turns to my table, maybe tomorrow. Was wondering about a source for passenger cars for this engine. Been trying to find the info, but am not doing a good job. Found this site and was hoping to get some help. Thanks in advance, and hopefully can pitch in where I can. Sully
